Quail Hatched tn
Road Truck
Clay Lilly, highway supervisor for
Raeford, exhibited a most unusual
sight in Raeford Tuesday afternoon,
and with the strange sight went a
most unusual story.
During the afternoon he was op
erating a road grading machine on
the shoulder of a highway near
town, the blade of the grader ran
over and killed a mother quail. He
stopped and found that none of the
eggs o,f the 13 in the nest was hurt
and the nest was apparently untouch
ed, the grader had been set just
high enough to have killed the bird.
He picked up the eggs and placed
them in a toesack, hoping that when
he arrived home could find a bantam
hen which was inclined toward
motherhood which would finish the
mother quail's job. But birth was
tao near, no additional incubation
was needed, except what was de
rived trom the" toesack and the heat
of Tuesday's sun. When Mr. Lilly
arrived home, eleven chick quail had
hatched. The other two eggs are
being given proper pre-natal care
with Mr. Lilly pacing the floor ex
pectantly and with hopes that all
will be hatched and live to enjoy
a tetider and watchful childhood be
fore he releases them this fall.-
